Bugatti Vision Concept

I love the romantic flowing lines and shapes of current and past Bugatti’s. With this post, I was trying to build off of Bugatti’s styling but add modern design vocabulary to create a new design direction. The design had to be avant-garde in keeping with Bugatti’s French roots. I wanted to add soft voluptuous forms to my design in a contemporary way.

I started with a very rough sketch that I felt had potential. I drew my design over a rendering I found on Behance.com using Photoshop. In some areas, I found quality surface to paste onto my sketch that depicted what I had drawn. The body side came together quickly. I tried several rear end designs before landing on the final one.

This design utilizes rear cameras which removes the need for a backlight. This allows for greater cargo storage with a fastback design. The Kammback profile is also very aerodynamic. The upper is all glass.

Once I felt that I had a harmonious design, I imported it into Vizcom.The results I had using the reference image, which I’ve included, were very encouraging. I’m a sucker for dramatic sunset images. The warm and cool colors help define the forms plus add visual punch. I systematically chose the best areas from 14 Vizcom generated renderings out of 41 total to create the featured image. I spent an extra day refining the design plus widening it twice in Photoshop.

I have to let a design age for a few days to see it again with fresh eyes. When a design starts coming together, I fall in love with it. Then as it nears completion, I suddenly see it for what it is and become critical of it. The last stage of my design process is pouring the love back into it to bring out its full potential and re-ignite the passion I originally had for it.

You can get amazing car design results just by inputting written prompts with certain AI sites. I find that limiting and it reduces the control that I have compared to designing cars with Vizcom.ai. I take you through my design process with each post to demonstrate that I’m the creator of these designs. It all starts with a sketch.
